Definitions
- This invention relates to centrifugal separators and, more particularly, to improvements in vertical centrifugal separators which extend the useful life of various components within the separator, thereby reducing downtime of a separator and decreasing its maintenance.
- centrifugal separators are widely used in a variety of processes in which material separation is required. Typically, material is fed into a top of the separator and is brought into contact with rotating elements within the separator. Solid material is retained near the center of the separator; while, free liquids are slung off, by centrifugal force, to the outside of the separator. These liquids are then directed to a drain outlet, and the solid material falls, by gravity, to the bottom of the separator from whence it is discharged and collected.
- an improved centrifugal separator the provision of such a separator which is a vertical centrifugal separator having an improved inlet area, an improved flight assembly, an improved screen assembly, and an improved outlet structure; the provision of such an improved separator in which the improvements provide for a longer component life, and for better operation of the separator in separating materials; the provision of such improvements to substantially reduce separator downtime; and, the provision of such improvements to reduce maintenance costs associated with keeping the separator in operation.
- a vertical, centrifugal separator comprises a vertical drive mechanism including a drive shaft.
- a flight assembly is attached to the drive shaft and is rotatably driven by it.
- a screen assembly which includes a rotor that is also attached to the drive mechanism. The rotor is driven at a separate speed than the flight assembly.
- a perforated screen is carried by the rotor and is positioned outwardly of the flight assembly.
- an inlet assembly is positioned above these other elements where material to be separated is fed into the separator through the inlet assembly. This material is captured between the flight assembly and the screen and it is in this area that material separation occurs.
- An improvement comprises a pocket assembly positioned between a discharge port of the inlet assembly and the upper end of the flight assembly.
- the pocket assembly extends radially outwardly beyond an upper end of the flight assembly.
- a lower end of the pocket assembly extends below the upper end of the flight assembly, and the upper end of the screen is integral with the lower end of the pocket assembly.
- the pocket assembly creates a "basket” for catching material introduced into the separator through the inlet assembly.
- the pocket assembly replaces the upper portion of the screen which previously was used to catch this material. Since the material now impacts against a sidewall of the pocket assembly rather than against the screen, the useful life of the screen is greatly extended.
- the rotor portion of the screen assembly has also been improved, as has an outlet assembly for solid material.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a portion of a prior art vertical centrifugal separator
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of an improved vertical centrifugal separator of the present invention
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an integral pocket/screen assembly of the improved separator
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a rotor portion of the screen assembly.
- FIG. 5 is a partial bottom perspective view of the rotor.
- the separator 10 includes a frusto-conical outer housing 12 having a top plate 14.
- the face plate has an opening 16 in which is fitted an inlet assembly 18 by which material M to be separated is fed into the separator.
- the inlet assembly is bolted to the top plate and has a vertical spout 20 extending down inside the housing.
- a plate 24 Positioned beneath an outlet 22 of the spout is a plate 24 which is rotated via a drive assembly 26. Material falling through the inlet strikes the rotating plate and is thrown off by centrifugal force.
- a screen assembly 28 comprises a perforated screen 30 attached to a rotor 32.
- the screen assembly is frusto-conical in shape and the screen assembly is connected at its lower end to the rotor.
- the rotor is connected to the drive assembly, as indicated at 36, for the screen assembly to be rotated by the drive assembly.
- a flight assembly 38 comprises a hollow frustrum of a right circular cone 40.
- a plurality of flights are attached to the outer surface of the cone and extend around the cone in a vertical, spiralling fashion.
- Two flights 42a, 42b are shown in FIG. 1.
- the flight assembly is mounted within housing 12, inside screen assembly 28, and it is also attached to a drive shaft 44 of drive assembly 26.
- the flight assembly is therefore also rotatably driven by the drive assembly, although at different speed than the screen assembly.
- screen 30 extends upwardly above plate 24 to outlet 22 of the inlet assembly
- the outer tip ends 46 of flights 42a, 42b extend slightly above the height of the plate. Plate 24 is attached to the upper end of supporting cone 40.
- a baffle assembly 48 includes a circumferential baffle 50 which is spaced inwardly from the side wall of the housing so a circumferential opening 52 is formed therebetween.
- a horizontal, circumferential flange 54 which is secured to radially extending vanes or spokes 56 of rotor 34 by bolts 60. Because the vanes 56 are circumferentially spaced about the rotor, arcuate openings are formed therebetween.
- baffle 50 has inner wall 58 which defines an outlet for the separated material.
- material M which typically consists of solid matter and free liquid falls by gravity through the inlet assembly onto plate 24.
- the material is flung off the plate by its centrifugal like throwing force and impacts the screen 30. Some of the material strikes the upper tip ends of the flights. In either event, the material falls between the screen and flight assemblies.
- the free liquid is slung outwardly, by impacting centrifugal or revolving force, through the openings in the screen, and strikes the inside of the housing.
- the liquid cascades down the housing wall and flows out through the opening O between the housing and the baffle 50.
- a conveyor belt (not shown), or other collection mechanism, is located at the base of the housing below the separator to collect the now separated material and move it to the next station.
- an improved vertical, centrifugal separator 100 of the present invention is designed to obviate many of the above listed repair problems; either wholly, so that the problem is substantially eliminated, or by inclusion of components having substantially longer useful lives than prior art components. Thus, the timing and extent of replacement is greatly reduced.
- separator 100 first comprises a cylindrical base section 102 having a circular outer side wall 104.
- Wall 104 is inwardly curved or bent at its upper end to form a circumferential mounting flange 106.
- a hollow, frusto-conical housing section 108 has a sloping side wall 110.
- a cylindrical wall 112 At the lower, greater diameter end of the housing section is formed a cylindrical wall 112 the outer diameter of which is such that the wall fits within an opening 114 formed by flange 106.
- a circumferential, horizontally extending mating flange 116 is formed.
- housing 108 is also inwardly turned to form a circumferential flange 120 which defines a top surface of the housing.
- a central, circular opening 122 is defined by the inner margin of flange 120, and an inlet assembly 124 fits conveniently into this opening. Material M to be separated is introduced into the separator via assembly 124.
- the inlet assembly has an upper funnel shaped open inlet end 126, and a lower hollow, cylindrical section 128. The lower end of the section 128 defines the outlet 130 of the inlet assembly, and the outer diameter of section 128 is such that it snugly fits in opening 122.
- a circumferential, horizontally extending flange 132 is formed on the outside of the inlet assembly at the transition between the funnel and cylindrically shaped sections of the inlet. Flange 132 is attached to the upper face of the housing by the shown bolts 134.
- Plate 136 Positioned beneath outlet 130 is a plate 136.
- Plate 136 is attached to the upper end of a flight assembly 138 by bolts 140.
- the flight assembly is connected to a vertical drive mechanism 142 and is turned by the drive assembly.
- Plate 136 rotates with the flight assembly so material falling through the inlet assembly strikes the plate and is thrown off by centrifugal force, as explained.
- a pocket assembly 144 is mounted within the housing between the inlet assembly and the upper end of the flight assembly.
- the pocket assembly comprises a circular housing 146 having a side wall 148 which is inwardly turned at both its top and bottom to form a top wall 150 and a bottom wall 152.
- the top wall has a central circular opening 154 the diameter of which corresponds to the outer diameter of inlet assembly section 128. This allows the pocket assembly to fit over the lower portion of the inlet assembly and surround it.
- Flight assembly 138 includes a plurality of vanes 156 two of which 156a, 156b are shown in FIG. 2. The vanes curve upwardly about a hollow, frusto-conical support 158 to which the vanes are attached by bolts 160. The vanes thus create a spiral path for material.
- Plate 136 is bolted to the upper end of support 158.
- the upper, tip ends 162 of the flights are the portions of the flights most exposed to impacts from material thrown off plate 136.
- the level of the tips is below that of the plate which lessens the number of impacts to which the tips are subjected. Rather, the material flying off the plate will stike the inner face 164 of side wall 148 of the pocket assembly.
- Support 158 has an inwardly extending hub assembly 165 which comprises a collar fitting over the upper end of drive mechanism 142 and bolted thereto.
- a screen assembly 166 is mounted radially outwardly of, and adjacent to, the flight assembly.
- the screen assembly includes a circumferentially extending screen 168 and a plurality of vertical screen supports 170, two such supports being shown in FIG. 2.
- Bottom wall 152 of the pocket assembly has a central, circular opening 172 which fits over the upper end of the flight assembly, so the base of the pocket assembly is below the level of the upper end of the flight assembly.
- Pocket assembly 144 is rotatably supported by screen assembly 166, with the bottom wall of the pocket assembly being supported by the upper ends of the screen supports 170. Because the screen assembly is connected to drive mechanism 142, the pocket assembly rotates with the screen assembly.
- Material thrown off plate 136 is flung against inner face 164 of the pocket assembly.
- Face 164 is formed of, or lined with, a high-impact resistant material and provides a wear surface for incoming solid material to abrade against. The inner face therefore tolerates the constant impact forces which occur during a separation operation. Over time, a material build-up occurs in which fragments of material M, which are retained in the pocket area of the assembly, cling to face 164 and form a further lining.
- the pocket assembly includes a plurality of vertically extending vanes 174 spaced circumferentially about the inner face of the pocket assembly. These vanes prevent solid material from slipping and not coming up to the rotational speed of the pocket assembly.
- screen 168 it will be noted that rather than extending upwardly to substantially the same level as the lower end of the inlet assembly, as screen 30 of FIG. 1 does, the upper end of screen 168 is substantially co-terminous with the lower end the pocket assembly. As seen in FIG. 3, pocket assembly 146 is integral with the upper end of screen assembly 166; the pocket assembly and screen assembly being connected together, for example, by welding. Thus, the upper end of the screen 168 is not subjected to the constant battering to which screen 30 is subjected, since it is substantially below the plate 136. This, in turn, substantially increases the useful life of the screen.
- vanes 156a, 156b of the flight assembly do not have to extend as far upwardly as the vanes 42a, 42b of separator 10.
- the upper tip end 46 of vanes 42a, 42b extended well above its shown plate 24 of this prior art separator, and thus were subject to constant material impacts
- the upper tip ends 162 of vanes 156a, 156b are well below the top surface of plate 136, as aforesaid. Since material thrown off plate 136 is flung outwardly rather than downwardly, the tip ends of these vanes are struck less often.
- the upper ends of these vanes is hardened to increase their impact resistance. Both this hardening, and the lowering of the height to which the vanes extend, increases their useful life significantly because they are now less prone to impact damage.
- Screen 168 is a perforated screen supported by a series of spaced rods 176 which angle inwardly from a circumferentially extending rim 178 located at the base of the screen assembly to the lower end of the pocket assembly.
- the space between the rods are covered by perforations of the screen through which the liquid passes.
- the screen has an upwardly tapering shape with the spacing between adjacent rods being such as to allow free liquids to be thrown outwardly against the inner wall of the housing; while the solid material is retained between the flight assembly and the screen and falls, by gravity, to the bottom of the flight assembly.
- a circular support rod 180 fits about the screen support at its mid-point
- the screen assembly includes a rotor indicated generally 182 which is connected to the drive mechanism of the separator.
- Rotor 182 has a generally frusto-conical main body section 184 the upper end of which is inwardly turned to form a mounting plate 186.
- Plate 186 has a central opening 180 which fits over a drive shaft 188 of drive mechanism 142. The plate is attached to the drive mechanism by bolts 192.
- the main body section of the rotor is sized to fit within the flight assembly support 158.
- the lower end of the rotor main body extends below the base of support 158.
- the rotor has a circumferential rim 194 which is spaced radially outwardly from the lower end of the main body section of the rotor.
- the rim is connected to the main body section of the rotor by a plurality of radially extending spokes 196.
- Rim 178 of the screen assembly fits on top of rim 194 and the pocket/screen assembly is attached to the rotor by bolts 198 fitted through holes 200 in rim 178.
- rotation of rotor 182 by the drive mechanism produces rotation of the pocket and screen assemblies.
- the improvement of the present invention includes hardening, during the manufacturing process, of those surfaces of the spokes which hit, or get hit by, material. This, for example, would include the upper surface 202, and the side walls 204, 206 of each spoke (see FIGS. 4 and 5).
- rotor 182 is also provided with protection means 208 comprising wear pads 210 fitted to the forward side wall of each spoke, based upon the direction of rotation (side wall 204 in FIG. 5).
- a base plate 212 is first attached to the spoke side wall, and the wear pad is carried on the base plate. As the rotor turns, the wear pad will strike solid material falling from the flight assembly, rather than the side wall of the spoke. The result is the rotor has a prolonged useful life.
- base section 102 of separator 100 has first and liquid outlet section 214, and a second and solid material outlet section 216.
- Section 214 is an annular, outer section which encompasses section 216, which is an inner section.
- Section 216 has a circumferential side wall 218.
- the cap has a top face 224 in which is formed a central, circular opening 226. The diameter of this opening is slightly greater than the diameter of the rotor at the elevation of rim 194. As shown in FIG.
- Cap 220 has a circumferential flange 230 extending horizontally from the outer face of its side wall 222 at a point intermediate the height of the side wall.
- Section 224 includes both the outer side wall 104 of base section 102, as well as an inner side wall 232, and a bottom floor 234. The side walls and floor form an annular fluid outlet, or drain, for the liquid removed from the material.
- Side wall 232 extends upwardly a height less than that of the outer side wall and has an inwardly turned, circumferential flange 236.
- Flange 230 of cap 220 sits upon flange 236, and the flanges are attached by bolts 238. Liquid flung outwardly through screen 168 as the material moves down the separator runs off down the inside of housing 110 into section 214 where it is drawn off.
- Lining 240 comprises a plurality of ceramic tiles 242 which extend completely about the inside of side wall 218 and extend from the top to the bottom of the outlet assembly As seen in FIG.
- the tiles may be of different sizes, and their arrangement such that they are not readily dislocated by repeated strikes from the solid material.
- the solid material falling through the outlet assembly falls onto a conveyor, into a hopper, or onto some other convenient conveyance for transport to the next processing station.
- separator 100 is an improved vertical, centrifugal separator in which various strategies are employed to improve the useful life of the separator components, reduce downtime, and improve maintenance costs. For example, replacing the upper end of the screen with a pocket assembly 146 reduces wear on the screen and replaces it with a more rugged material receiving fixture. By hardening various parts of the rotor spokes and providing wear pads at appropriate places, rotor life is substantially extended. Lastly, by lining the outlet assembly for solid material, a more rugged construction is provided which makes it less prone to damage and extends its useful life.
